This bill appropriates $300,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development for a grant to All Square of Minnesota. The funding is designated to support All Square's workforce development programs in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding correctional facilities. The aim is to assist individuals who are incarcerated, formerly incarcerated, or affected by a criminal record in overcoming employment barriers, thereby promoting economic and emotional freedom.

The grant proceeds can be utilized for various programs offered by All Square, including the Restaurant and Food Truck Fellowship program, the Prison to Law Pipeline program, and the Legal Revolution Law Firm. This appropriation is a one-time allocation intended to enhance the support provided to those impacted by the criminal justice system in their pursuit of employment opportunities.
